FM Global, one of the world's largest commercial and industrial property insurers, publishes an annual report analysing the resilience of countries and territories to supply chain disruptions: the FM Global Resilience Index. This index is particularly useful for companies operating at cross-border level, which often have to deal with a variety of risks.

The index is based on an analysis of 12 criteria, divided into three categories: economic, risk quality and supply chain. The criteria and categories are assessed on a scale of 0 (worst-performing territory) to 100 (best-performing territory).

Considerable progress for Luxembourg

The index ranks Luxembourg in second place out of the 130 countries and territories analysed. European countries dominate the top ten, with Switzerland topping the index (100.0), followed by Luxembourg (95.9) and Sweden (94.7). When it comes to our neighbours, Germany is ranked 5th, France 11th and Belgium 14th.

If we take a closer look at the three categories used to draw up the overall index, Luxembourg is ranked as follows:

Economic – Luxembourg is in 2nd place at global level (85.0): productivity (78.4), political risk (97.9), oil intensity of the economy (64.5) and urbanization rate (71.0);

Supply chain – Luxembourg is in 11th place at global level (87.6): control of corruption (95.2), quality of infrastructure (80.2), quality of local suppliers (75.1) and visibility of supply chain (90.9).
